Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is eyeing a political comeback, faces scrutiny over his consulting work since leaving office amid scandal. Refusing to disclose his client list, Cuomo's legal firm, Innovation Strategies LLC, has allegedly represented clients in controversial fields, including a cryptocurrency exchange entangled in illegal activities. Reports suggest he assisted the exchange with legal counsel during federal investigations and prompted the inclusion of an ally on its board. Despite these engagements, Cuomo's spokesperson insists he has not represented clients before any New York agency, generating further discussion on ethics and transparency in politics.
Cuomo has been a paid adviser for a cryptocurrency exchange facing a federal probe and pleaded guilty to operating illegally in the U.S.
Cuomo reportedly encouraged the cryptocurrency company to bring one of his allies onto its board of directors.
His consulting company, Innovation Strategies, advises NANO Nuclear Energy, an advanced technology-driven nuclear energy company.
Cuomo raked in more than half a million dollars from his consulting work in 2024 after leaving office amidst scandal.
